yes, I forgot to mention that, it is RC, RC 3 is great. I've not experienced bugs with the software and in fact use it day to day for all my email needs. w/ the ability to tell it to choose who you want text only emails, a great spell checker (built-in, non MS). and the ability to add-in security w/ PGP or digitally sign email and the before mentioned built-in JunkMail filters. and as I mentioned before, you no longer have to worry about auto-executing email.
